  please don't look at how many hours i have dear god. objectively not a terribly well designed game, but honestly I don't think that's what you're here for. If you like rwby and have some friends to play with, this game is fun to play anyway. if not, it's meh on its own merits.

  WHERES THE STORY??

  I don't take much joy in saying this but this game is not good. It's not very fun or satisfying to play, the story doesn't really do anything for me nor does it add anything to the greater world of RWBY so there's nothing to grab onto there, it doesn't look great visually, and it's really only tolerable in multiplayer because in single player all of it's worst qualities are only made worse. If you're not a fan of RWBY, don't even bother and if you are a fan of RWBY then you still shouldn't bother because you're not going to get anything out of this game.

  -Edit- I want to preface this review with a tag that I am only recommending (Thumbs up) this game based on the fanboy that I am, in hopes that it improves beyond what it was a few months ago in the Ruby only game. If it continues at that growth, I believe it will be an excellent game in about a year's time. That said, I understand that my love of the show can potentially blind me to features and things I don't see, but as such, I am being as fair as I can with that said in my critique of the game. I do not need the comments pointing such things out. I understand that it goes against the "Fair review" idea, but being an adamant fan of the show, it can be difficult to be 100% unbiased. -End edit- On Day 1, I'm writing my first impressions for this game, as I'm a huge RWBY fanboy and love the series and what it's all about. That in mind, please read this review knowing that despite my fandom, I will criticize where necessary with regards to what I see. This is early access, and this is still day 1 only. Gameplay revolves around a specific character (Ruby Rose, Weiss Schnee, Blake Belladonna, and Yang Xiao Long) and their specific movesets. Each controls a little differently, but it boils down to this: You have one button that is your melee based attack, one button that is a ranged based attack, and you can string combos by spamming the primary button over and over until satisfied. Or you can feel frisky and push your secondary button while in the middle of a combo to "Finish" the combo with a ranged attack and drop out of it. You have a "Dodge" button with your shift key. Finally, as far as movesets go, you have 3 special moves, unique to each character that defines them. Some have ranged projectiles, some have area of effect wave clear sets. You have to try them to see what they do, and once you do, you'll find out that your melee basic attack ends up doing better than the specials in 95% of circumstances. You gain experience from killing monsters, collecting items, and completing objectives. As you level, you'll unlock very basic things like extra special attacks, improved specials, and the like. The specials can be improved by either gaining the ability to charge them to do more damage, getting a new effect, or other traits. Other unlocks can be your aura (Health) recharging faster or... That's about it right now. And since we're on that topic - You have health. You won't realize this because you'll stun-lock all enemies you come across with melee or ranged attacks, but if there's more than 5-6 of them on you, you'll go from full to death in a matter of seconds. The balance of health is already an issue, as your characters (All four of them) are nimble enough to dodge a little bit to get out of harm's way, but if you get surrounded, you might as well kiss your butt goodbye. Balance issues aside with health, the game play is fun for a few minutes - The characters all have unique personalities and voice lines, and from what I can tell, are all the original voice actors. You also have Peter Port (A teacher from the academy in the show) guiding your steps through the levels to help you out and aid you. However, the game play is extremely basic. There's only three buttons you'll care about while in combat - Melee about 90% of the time, ranged attack about 5% of the time, and your dodge about 5% of the time. Beyond that, specials are only when you feel frisky or are trying to solo things and want to speed it up (I've played solo on every character and felt no worry of getting overrun until the end of the first chapter at the wave clear section). Is this game good? Honestly, not yet. Yet being that key word. There's a lot of room for improvement, as this is still day one of an early access title. Should you get it now? Ehhhh, questionable. Someone has to be a lab rat. Which lab rats should it be? Hardcore RWBY fans will adore the voice actors and the visuals, which look like they were made for the show and put into a game. Every character sounds and feels like they would in a real combat fight, and the animations are absolutely stunning. The game play is severely lacking currently, and the story is... Non-existent to be fair. I won't give you a rating yet, but I would say if you're a RWBY fan, this is a game to pick up, if only for the sheer amounts of fanboy that will happen. If you're not a fan, I would stray away for now - The game is very unfinished, but in the future may be much better. Anything can happen. As a RWBY fan, I recommend this, but don't for anyone that isn't (At the time of this review). TL:DR Pros: + RWBY cast voice actors. + Awesome sound and animations that look like they should. + Visuals are spot-on for the world of Remnant. Cons: - Extremely basic combat and no complexity - Grows boring quickly due to low mechanical necessity. - Unfinished (Early access) - No customization Sound 9.5/10, Graphics 9/10, Gameplay 2/10, recommended to (hardcore) fans *only* in current state.

  Just played through the entire campaign with all four characters and here's my thoughts. I'll breakdown each character's gameplay further down. FIRST THOUGHTS: Starting off, it's aesthetically very much like the anime. The voice acting is very good, as expected, but can easily be drowned out by the chaos of battle. The controls are easy enough to pick up to start bashing away at things. Though, in order to survive, you'll need to learn how to time your dodges effectively [Shift]; otherwise you'll be on the ground very quickly. Sounds can be a little repetitive and overbearing at times (I'm looking at you, Blake), but it's still early access. PROGRESSION: Yes, there is a progression system. Well, more like an in-game achievement system with in-game rewards. As for those claiming there is no progression system, that's half true. Your character LEVEL does not save. You'll be starting the campaign over again at level one. However, your talent unlocking progress DOES save. For example, 0/100 kills needed with a specific ability with a character can be built up through multiple playthroughs. Achieving the level cap of 10 in a single playthrough to unlock their 'master' talent can be tough, and may require multiple playthroughs after unlocking some talents to help secure kills. That's where the urge to keep playing comes into play. Once talents are unlocked, they are unlocked for good, and can be purchased with attribute points without needing to unlock them again. Not a bad system, but may not be for everyone. I was only able to finally get to level 10 as Yang due to my allies dying while I cleaned up the battlefield, on multiple occasions. MECHANICS: It's very much a hack and slash, and does a very good job at it. Aside from there being only one button to attack with, the combat can get dull rather quickly. That is, unless you tie it together with dodges in-between, which resets the combo, or pressing right mouse-click during the combo to interrupt it with some sort of knock-back or finisher. There is no visual 'lock-on' as of yet, so its hard to stick to one target unless your pointing your camera directly at them and/or using your WASD towards them. But, it's very easy to "get the hang of it" so it's not much of a negative once you understand how it works. Your Aura meter is your health pool. You can take damage until its depleted and a little bit more until you collapse completely. Stop taking damage for awhile and you'll regen it automatically. Easy enough, just run like a coward while watching dem booties. Some character abilities grant invulerability, so it is possible to remain in comat and still regen. I.E. Ability -> Dodge -> Ability -> Dodge, etc. Seemed a little more exploitable on Yang than the others. Sometimes a little too exploitable to be called broken. The experience is my biggest pet peeve about the game. Whoever last hits, gets the experience. Doesn't matter if I've been bashing away at very tough monster - another player can swoop in with an ability to swipe the experience. This leads to a bit of a sour and competitive experience if you're trying to achieve level 10. REPLAYABILITY: So far, the only campaign is pretty short. About 45 minutes to an hour long. I did feel the desire to play with everyone, so there is some replayability there. If you're a 100%er, and want to unlock every talent for every character while enjoying the hack and slash RWBY style, there's quite a bit of time to be spent here. I sure hope to see more characters from the other teams, more campaigns, more monster types (only about 8 so far, and they look very similar), and perhaps some more modes. But for what there is so far, it's a toss-up. If you're looking for a quick hack and slash while playing with your favorite RWBY character and don't mind the price point - pick it up. If you'd rather wait for more content than just a single campaign that lasts an hour at most - hold off. In this next section, this is a purly SUBJECTIVE opinion of my experience playing through the campaign with each character. Edits to the review after multiple playthroughs are below the initial impression. Possible SPOILER ALERT: Don't continue to read if you want to find out how these characters work for yourself. CHARACTER MECHANICS: RUBY She's very fun, and one of the more polished characters to start playing around with. Her ability kit out-shines everyone else's in my opinion. Extremely powerful AoE, single-target, and ranged AoE abilities gives her an edge over everyone else. Her damage is above average, and flows very well without losing a lock-on. There's no need to dodge-cancel a combo to stick to a target. Her ranged attack is a long-ranged rifle shot that has huge kickback. Great for first starting out in your first campaign to get rolling on how the game works. Further Playthrough Edit: Her kit is still solid, and has the hardest hitting melee AoE ability from what I've seen so far, especially when talented. Her linear melee ability is frustrating at times when you finally charge it up only to have the the enemy go invulnerable. Not as reliable as other characters' "big-hitting" abilities. Dodge-cancelling her ranged attack after two clicks reduces the delay significantly. ________ DIFFICULTY: Novice SKILL CEILING: 5/10 WEISS Her quick rapier attacks force you to play a little different than the others, here. I had to dodge-cancel her combo to repetitively use the first half of her combo to stick to a target effectively. Her abilities can be game-changing. She's the only one with a [talented] heal, and the only one with an AoE that [talented] freezes the enemies which helps immensely on tough targets. Her other two abilities, however, are mediocre at best. The dash is nice for tying into combos, but the ranged ability has absolutly atrocious targetting. Don't expect to hit anything with it unless you're in point blank range. Not to mention her ranged auto-attack will only hit about half of the time with this same targetting - or lack of targetting. Further Playthrough Edit: Once talented, her dash attack is the hardest hitting ability in the game, from what I've seen so far - and can be used in quick succession. So there's that. ________ DIFFICULTY: Intermediate SKILL CEILING: 6/10 BLAKE Quick and nimble, you'll find yourself all over the enemy - quite literally. Simply put, she needs work. In my opinion the least polished of the four with her current playstyle. The second half of her auto-attack combo puts you over the top of enemies, making it miss every enemy shorter than herself. I had to dodge-cancel her combo every... single... time against short enemies. Granted those aerial autos are extremely powerful, they're only reliable against the taller enemies. Her ranged attack is a light-hitting pistol with little-to-no kickback. As for the abilities, only two of the three are reliable, in the sense of maximizing your damage. Most of her kit seems bent on maneuverability rather than damage (although her ranged ability does massive damage if used at point blank) - but prepare your ears if you're going to play Blake with headphones. You have been warned. ________ DIFFICULTY: Advanced SKILL CEILING: 10/10 YANG Feels the most polished of the four, and feels great playing her. Her auto-attack lock-on mechanic is the best out of all of them. She hits hard, and hits fast - especially if you dodge-cancel and utilize the first 3/4 of her full auto-attack. She can remain invulnerable for a long time if you time her abilities and dodging correctly. All of her abilities have their uses. Powerful AoE ability, powerful single-target ability, and a hard-hitting "dash-in" ability. Her ranged attack is a short-ranged light-hitting shotgun spray - great for cleaning up enemies that aren't worth another combo. Solid choice for bashing skulls in. ________ DIFFICULTY: Intermediate SKILL CEILING: 8/10

  I'm a fan of the show, so I can appreciate a lot that I'm sure others don't. That said, this game is still a hell of a lot of fun. Pros: Fun gameplay, good voice acting, great music. Cons: Buggy (early access, though), not much variety in the skill trees Since this game is still in early development, I can overlook the (few) flaws this game has. Looking forward to seeing what comes next!
